Surprising repercussions of making AI sound human via @WIRED

Amazon recently upgraded its speech synthesis markup language tags...[allowing] Alexa to do things like whisper, pause, bleep out expletives, and vary the speed, volume, emphasis, and pitch of its speech. This means Alexa and other digital assistants might soon sound less robotic and more human.
